This section is the Garden, filled with the murmurs of discussion and the clattering of game pieces doing battle. Accessing the pastimes of wildly different realms, we must take care not to ruin this paradise for contemplation and competition.
1. First, if you think that your thread will be discussing critical, surprising, or otherwise mysterious plot elements of the story, SAY SO! It should be enough to simply state that the thread will have spoilers in it by including that in the Subject line.
2. If you are in a thread that does NOT have the spoiler tag, and you wish to say something that would tell parts of the storyline, SAY SO! Give fair warning, before you put it in your post. One of the best ways to do this is to have the words "SPOILERS AHEAD!!!" in noticeable lettering, then do a quick summery of your spoiler, so others reading will be able to tell if they already know the following information. Try to use vague descriptions here, so it doesn’t reveal more spoilers… You also may want to include some nice paragraph spaces so that they can skip past that section if needed.
3. NO FLAMING. This area is for mutual discussion of beloved topics. Do your best to keep this in mind when/if someone disagrees with your position.
4. Remember, normal Temple rules apply to the Garden. Try to keep those in mind, along with the above, and you should do fine here.
And last, here’s an example for you.
Subject: Sephiroth (spoilers!)
Topic: Holy cow, this guy is SO COOL! It was especially neat to find out his connections with the rest of the cast.
SPOILERS AHEAD – His parents
I mean, Jenova? How cool is that? And Hojo? Wow… no wonder he is so cool.
END SPOILERS
Sephiroth, you must are the coolest villain of all time. Maybe.
